This article deals with the somewhat sensitive topic on interracial marriage and love. Written by M. Belinda Tucker and Claudia Mitchell-Kernan, this article follows the various trends of black interracial marriage in America. Interestingly enough, interracial marriage has become more common throughout the years, but it should be noted that black women do not “outmarry” to other races. In fact, their male counterparts marry other races at a higher extent. The authors do think that part of the reason for this could be that white women have started to see black men as more attractive due to a white male shortage.
I find this to be very interesting and even a little concerning. This article should be dealt with to understand interracial marriage and why it happens. As Americans begin to grow more open about interracial relationships, I think inclusiveness will increase between races. With this, diversity should be more accepted in the future, so it can be crucial to acknowledge articles that address these issues.
